been converted into a food storage area used by the North Vietnamese.

[By
8 December 1970] U.S. efforts to interdict the trail were in full swing
with the USAF's Operation Igloo White. Electronic surveillance devices
were dropped to monitor vehicle-and-troop movement in Laos, and a
constant orbit of manned and drone planes relayed the signals from under
the jungle blanket to the Infiltration Surveillance Center in Thailand.
There, two computers processed high-speed printouts showing which
sensors had been activated, how often, and when. Other computers fed
this information to an Airborne Battlefield Command and Control
aircraft which then called in appropriate
air power. A typical day over Laos saw the Ho Chi Minh Trail hit by
thirty B52 bomber strikes and three hundred USAF, USN, and USMC
aircraft. C130 transport planes, mounted with Gatling mini-guns, flew
night and day to strafe convoys and troop marches. Bombs mounted with
lasers and televisions were sent against cave entrances. Cluster bombs
were sowed over Binh Trams. Mines and booby-traps were airdropped, some
designed to demolish trucks, others to mangle a man's foot so he became a
burden to his comrades. The destruction was staggering...Keith William Nolan: from Into Laos: The Story of Dewey Canyon II/Lam Son 719, Vietnam 1971

Hillary Clinton has long invoked Henry Kissinger as a mentor -- her infamous emails show
that they corresponded with some frequency when she was secretary of
state. Kissinger, architect of the "Operation Menu" covert bombing campaign in Laos and Cambodia in 1969-70, is widely perceived as a war criminal. He also won a Nobel Peace Prize.: photo by Dirck Halstead via The Guardian, 13 February 2016
